RacingBrake ET500 pads
Technafit SS brake lines (black)
ATE Super Blue Racing brake fluid

I hear good things about all these products and found them to be what I consider the best bang for the buck parts for my street/autocross car.

Link to package I need to do pads and lines here when I redo the suspension. Was gonna do Hawk HPS's, Goodridge F&R lines, and motul fluid. 250 shipped from CVR

I purchased everything from MAPerformance (EvoM sponsor), but it wasn't a pre-packaged deal. You should do more research though, Hawk pads aren't that great considering what else is available and Motul fluid is not a good choice for the street.

My ex ran HPS's on her RS. They proved to be great brakes and superior to the factory crap. I have the Project MU NS pads on my VIII and they also have proved superior to the stock hardware.

I've done plenty of research on this forum was unaware of the motul claim. I used to run the Super Blue fluid in my Integra years ago. Worked great.

Motul (and all brake fluids) likes water. It is OK, just needs to be bleed more - same goes with ATE. ATE is cheaper though.

Here are the pics of my HPS's - they are glazed completely over...on street/highway driving.





They are smooth to the touch. These had no stopping power to them at all. And they proceeded to hot-spot my rotor (slotted).

Hey I'm not opposed at all to recommendation. Looks like I may just go with the Project MU NS pads again. Any other Ideas for me SMIKE

Just a thought, I have not used them yet but a few people have recommended them to me:

Just another option

Any of these:

Satisfied GranSport GS5: 100-850F, .49 drag coefficient
Satisfied GranSport GS6: 100-700F, .42 drag coefficient
GiroDisc Magic: 150-850F
Ferodo DS2500: 100-1000F, .50 drag coefficient
Porterfield R4-S: 0-1000F (0-600F optimal), .4 drag coefficient
Brembo OEM pads
Racing Brake ET300
Performance Friction Z
Axxis Ultimates (ULT): 0-932F, .40 to .49 drag coefficient (true number unknown)

My personal favorite is the GS5's. But The Axxis ULT's can be had for $200 for all four. After driving in Otter RA with them, they will be my rear upgrade and possibly my new front pads when the GS5's run out.

ATE claims the Super Blue is good for 3 years in street driven applications; I have no idea how they came upon that number, but I figure I should be very safe bleeding annually with street and autocross usage.

Within 2 years of street driving the fluid will be at 50% life. 3 years would be around right for changing if not racing at all.

I bleed in spring and sometimes mid-summer, depending on how much racing I get in - I am running Amsoil DOT4.

I was looking at the Amsoil DOT4 since it does look like a great fluid, I just couldn't justify 3x the cost.

Thank you for the order sir! Let me know if anyone needs some pricing on brake components, we like to go fast but we can get you stopping faster as well!

Smike, good to see some other people recommending the Satisfied pads. They are really nice pads!

I carry them and a few of the others you mentioned. Good stuff!

They seem to have been a bit under the radar. I have been running them on/off for 3 or 4 years now. Great bite, good price. Very friendly and helpful when I have called them. They even made a set of GS5's for me a few years ago. That is customer service.

i bleed my brakes when i change my oil during the autox season. I've used motul fluids for years now and have not had any problems with brake fade or whatnot, maybe its just hard to notice
